Synopsis

Considered by many to be one of the greatest gay authors of our time, Edmund White's work has a relevant place in every literary collection. One of the founding fathers of modern gay literature, White and six other gay New York writers formed the Violet Quill in the mid '70s, a casual club where the men could sharpen their writing skills with one another. During the '80s, he lived in France, and upon his return to the states he discovered the devastating effects of AIDS and the loss of many friends.

In this candid documentary, Italian filmmaker Tiziano Sossi turns his camera on the American author and literary critic for a reflection on his long and influential life.
